Some Parties proposed measures to reduce mitigate the risks of floods and drought.

But an advanced country could also undertake mitigation efforts in the developing world and thus earn additional credits equal to the full value of its mitigation efforts (thus allowing more emissions at home).

Summary

First, the tsunami disaster illustrated the lack of a systematic disaster management framework, including disaster mitigation measures, in many countries.

Project proposals submitted under Article 12, paragraph 4, of the Convention provided an indication of the areas of national interest for abatement and sequestration project development.

It provides methodological input on mitigation of climate change, land use, land use change and forestry, fuels used in international aviation and maritime transport and emission projections.

In order to address that problem, special adjustments might be considered, such as the mitigation measures adopted two years earlier.

As a result, mitigation would become more efficient, and the same expenditures by advanced countries would produce higher global emission reductions.

Many developing countries are coming forward with ideas for further nationally appropriate mitigation measures that they could take.

Roughly half of the reporting Parties also identified measures to limit emissions and enhance removals by sinks in the LUCF sector.

The US retailer Wal Mart, for example, plans to cut emissions equivalent to 3.8 million cars, in part by implementing energy efficiency measures at its Chinese stores.

In the context of economic development and a growing world population, farmers are already making efforts to mitigate climate change consequences by increasing the efficiency of their farming practices, reducing emissions and adopting carbon sequestering practices.

Waste management Parties reported in varying degrees of detail on measures, some planned and some already implemented, to limit emissions in the waste management sector.

The United States, in particular, put enormous pressure on Japan to take expansive policy measures to relieve the pressure on the international system.

Those affected disproportionally were the poorest countries, especially developing countries, who had the least capacity to adapt to the effects of climate change and bore no responsibility for its root causes.

To add reference to the IPCC good practice guidance for LULUCF To change emissions to emissions and removals where appropriate To replace source category with category , to be consistent with the IPCC good practice guidance for LULUCF To add sector specific guidance on basic adjustment methods for the LULUCF sector, including additional parameters and relevant examples, similar to the sector specific guidance provided for the other IPCC inventory sectors.

The fund would jump start forestry, land use, and agricultural projects areas that offer the greatest scope for reducing or mitigating carbon emissions, and that could produce substantial returns from carbon markets.

Radiation mitigation and standard setting

Apart from energy efficiency or fuel switch projects, most of the GHG abatement projects in the cement sector involve replacement of a portion of the clinker with mineral by products or residues, which results in a substantial reduction of emissions.

Such a system would trigger entrepreneurial searches for low cost mitigation opportunities in developing countries, because rich countries would want to pay less by lowering emissions abroad.

In terms of findings, the Panel had noted that the emission reduction potential from foam end of life measures would be in excess of 190,000 ODP tonnes by 2100.

Second, clarity is essential on the extent to which major developing countries can undertake nationally appropriate mitigation actions beyond what they are already doing.

Big companies, from banks to airlines, are contributing as well. The US retailer Wal Mart, for example, plans to cut emissions equivalent to 3.8 million cars, in part by implementing energy efficiency measures at its Chinese stores.

All of us share in the responsibility for relieving their suffering.

Climate Change 2001 Mitigation.

Participants at the WCA meeting this week should commit to additional measures that will help ensure that emissions are kept within safe limits.

CAMBRIDGE There is a serious danger that the international adoption of cap and trade legislation to limit carbon dioxide emissions will trigger a new round of protectionist measures.

If significant financial resources are to be generated for mitigation and adaptation, developing countries will want a representative say in how that money is to be allocated and spent.

The ETS has achieved its objective of reducing emissions by the required amount at least cost.

Although air travel is expected to be the main contributor to these emissions, emissions from other activities should not be neglected.

That strategy includes measures to achieve greater sustainable economic growth through a combination of strong exports and increased domestic and foreign investment stimulate the performance of employment generating sectors and promote the development of the rural economy and agriculture to alleviate poverty.

Emissions trends

The third broad lesson from the ETS is that multinational emissions trading regimes can be constructed.

Bilal, the one who is almost my age, tries to soothe my shock.

She said that Uruguay developed a programme of measures for mitigation and adaptation that includes vulnerability analysis, and identified adaptation measures for agriculture, biodiversity, coastal resources, water resources, fishery resources, and human health.

The so called emissions trading system aims to control carbon emissions by allocating tradable permits.
